Know what this schedule covers.

This is independent exam preparation after (or alongside) approved broker classes — not a substitute for New Jersey's mandatory 150 classroom hours: 90 hours of general broker instruction, followed by 30 hours each of agency/ethics and office management. The state must also approve the applicant's qualifying experience before the examination can be scheduled.

01 — Weekly rhythm

A schedule you can actually keep.

Protected time blocks beat heroic sessions. Avoid the trap of studying for three hours once, then doing nothing for six days.

02 — Exam blueprint

Study where the points are.

National content weights from the PSI New Jersey broker examination outline, mapped to the week that covers them. Hover or tap a week below to highlight its domains. New Jersey license law is tested in the separate state-specific portion.

Sequence is a recommended study order — not a state-mandated curriculum.

Hours by week58 hrs

Week 7 peaks with the four-hour simulated exam. Week 8 is capped, not required — sleep beats cramming.

03 — Study roadmap

The eight-week schedule.

One main focus, a practical assignment, and a checkpoint per week. Check tasks off as you go — your progress ring updates above.

What if the practice results are still weak?

Add one targeted week, not another open-ended month. Revisit the lowest two topic scores, complete fresh questions, and retest. A 7–14 day extension is more useful than repeatedly reading the entire book.

04 — The actual examination

Know the finish line.

    Timing matters. New Jersey requires passage of the broker exam and application for licensure within one year after completing the final 30-hour broker course. Check the official eligibility expiration date — studying longer does not extend it.
